"This place reminded me that America is not lost and besides being the most comprehensive buffet I have ever been to gave a nostalgia so strong it almost brought tears to my eyes The sugar coated donuts you remember as a child, the chicken skewers, the jello section, hell they even had a chocolate fountain Everyone was super polite and considerate, the food quality was great for the price and the sheer amount of selection was incredible They have a make your own hibachi section, Pho bar, Sushi bar, Dessert, Seafood, Vegetable, Chinese and even fried plantains (one of my favorite tbh) We ended up having around 2.5 plates and walked out of there violently full and eager to return with friends 9/10, will 100% be back with the squad"

"A solid four stars for my lunchtime buffet, Flaming was busy with a full parking lot and nearly every table occupied. Despite this, the steam tables were well stocked and tidy. There was a very nice selection of foods including sushi. My waitress refilled my drinks and cleared dirty dishes as needed. I was able to put together a couple of plates of tasty stuff. I still don't understand why people don't use gloves to handle the tongs, but okay. Though in some cases the tong handles still end up in contact with the food. I avoided those."

"This restaurant deserves five stars. This is my second time. The first time I came with family members who live in the area. I'm from out of town, this time I'm with the same family members who love this place. Great for family. There're so many kind of food, not just Asian, there're Mexican and pizza as well. Even the picky eaters will find something. Varieties of sushi. and they will even make fresh stir fried for you with your choice of ingredients. The food is so fresh and delicious."

"Here’s the updated review with your travel story added: ⸻ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Great Experience at Flaming Chinese Buffet! I’m from Minnesota and was traveling across the country when I ended up in North Carolina looking for a good place to eat. I stumbled upon Flaming Chinese Buffet, and honestly, it felt like finding a hidden gem! The food was fresh, flavorful, and the variety was impressive. They even had my absolute favorites — oysters, shrimp soup, and plenty of delicious shrimp. Everything was well-prepared and constantly refreshed. The staff were friendly and attentive, keeping the trays full and the dining area clean. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in. For the price, the value is excellent. You definitely get more than what you pay for. I’ll absolutely be coming back whenever I’m in the area, and I highly recommend Flaming Chinese Buffet to anyone looking for great food and a great experience! Weekdays is unbelievable lunch $14.99 weekend lunch around $24"
